Unable to properly clone car

I’ve been trying to clone a car I have, but when I do, the car falls through the map. I’m guessing it’s not cloning properties correctly? This is because when I loop and set Anchored and CanCollide = True for all parts, the car no longer falls through the ground but it is no longer drivable.

My next guess other than properties is that the welding isn’t cloned properly. When I check if everything (from the original model) under the cloned model is in the directory, it’s all there.

I’m thinking maybe I could write a script to deep copy the car but that could be a lot more work than needed to fix this problem. Any thoughts/advice?

Here is the cloning script I wrote.

wait(8)

local middlePart = script.Parent.middlePart
originalPosition = Vector3.new(-556.331, 63.074, -324.058)


while true do
	
	wait(10)
	
	if originalPosition ~= middlePart.Position then
		
		print("Not Equal")
		
		newCar = workspace.knockCar:Clone()
		newCar.Parent = workspace
		newCar.Name = "newCar"
		newCar.PrimaryPart = newCar.middlePart
		
		for _, part in pairs(newCar:GetDescendants()) do
			if part:IsA("BasePart") then
				part.Anchored = true
				part.CanCollide = true
			end
		end

		newCar:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(CFrame.new(originalPosition))
	end
end
